I received an interesting question from someone about how the Otacaians perceive Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos. Most of the Jade Owls would view it as a fun, comedic, honorable, or even pointless holiday, but the perspective varies depending on the majority of the Otacaians.
The Pharae would consider both holidays to be pointless, believing that all holidays are just a waste of time and that dressing up in costumes is childish. On the other hand, the Enalla and Akryans would find both holidays enjoyable; these races love to dress up in exciting costumes, dance, play games, and they would join in the festivities and candy collecting while showcasing their outfits.
The Bannarai and Dinaks would hold a very respectful view towards Dia De Los Muertos, honoring their deceased family members, but they would see Halloween as chaotic and disorderly, with both adults and children in costumes. The Jithrans and the Opar-Han would not appreciate the concept of Halloween or Dia De Los Muertos, as they perceive it as a form of worshipping death. The Opar-Han, in particular, are quite superstitious about spirits and would be frightened by Halloween, opting to stay indoors and hide, fearing that evil ghosts might come for them. The Jithrans would find dressing up as witches, skeletons, and honoring dead ancestors to be quite obscene.
Meanwhile, the Verreans, Golars, and Rumaeri would see both holidays as opportunities for revelry, partying, drinking, and going wild. However, the Golars would regard Dia De Los Muertos as a wonderful holiday for celebrating and honoring family, which they cherish deeply due to their strong familial ties. The Qelurs would respect both holidays, viewing them as commercial opportunities to sell their sweets, clothing, and other goods, almost like their version of Black Friday.
Lastly, the Tot’Kocha would see Halloween as a prime chance to abduct people and children as slaves, and they would have similar thoughts about both holidays, that being they're both stupid and pointless because it is empty fun and there is no such thing as the afterlife
